CHAPTER ONE

^ PARTIES TO GIVE AT

^l\% HALLOWEEN TIME

WHEN YOU GIVE A
E'EN PARTY

IJALLOWE'EN, the night of Octo-
* * ber thirty-first, is the one time of
all the year when an opportunity is sup-
posed to be given for looking into the fu-
ture and having one's
fate settled for the
coming twelve months

Why not invite
your friends to a Hal-
lowe'en party and
join in the fun of try-
ing some of the time-
honored ways of
finding out what the
future holds in store?

The traditions of
this eerie night never
change, but there are
new ways of adapting
them for parties, new
ways of decorating,
new forms of playing
the old games and
tricks that will help
make the Hallowe'en
party really success-
ful.

Conventionality
may be set aside and
all sorts of games and
stunts be used to entertain your guests.

Although the opportunities for enter-
tainment are more diversified and infor-
mal than for almost any other occasion,
still the details of the Hallowe'en party
must be carefully arranged.

Whether you are entertaining at home
or at the club, be sure to ask your guests
to come in costume. It will introduce a
gay color note, add to the fun and be in
keeping with the spirit of the day.

When the party is a large one, instead
of all playing one game in which only

two or three can take an active part,
divide the company into groups of six
or eight and have progressive games.
Have a different game for each group.
Allow ten or fifteen
minutes for each game
and then move the
same as for any pro-
gressive game.

Scores should be
kept and a prize
awarded at the end
of the evening for the
highest score. Have
the score cards made
in such a way that
they may be worn
and so be always at
hand. A bracelet score
card for the girls and
a score card attached
to a neck scarf for the
men are shown on
page 7.

There is apt to be a
lull after the refresh-
ments have been
served. A few stunts
at the table will liven
up the party. The
reading of the papers written for "A
Calendar of Events," described on page
21, will fill any possible dull moment
with peals of laughter.

The suggestions on the following
pages may be adapted for home parties
or dances for either children or adults
and simplified or elaborated as occasion
requires. They are planned so that the
busy hostess may achieve the most de-
lightful and unusual results with the
least possible outlay of either time or
money.

LIVELY

FOR HA

OME PART
LOWE'EN

THE only suggestion of formality for a
Hallowe'en party is the invitation, and
even there great latitude is allowed. To be
sure, invitations of many shapes and styles
may be bought ready made, but there are
many ways to utilize gummed seals and card-
board cut-outs to make distinctive and
original invitations. Often the invitation is
orange colored and the wording in the form of
a verse. The invitation illustrated is made of
a Cut-out H 109 pasted to the side of a
white card. The verse above is appropriate
for any kind of a Hallowe'en party but per-
haps you will prefer to write an original
jingle.

There are other easy-to-make invitations
shown on pages 3 and 12, while several of the
score cards illustrated throughout the book
may be easily adapted for invitations.

P 'age four

Perhaps you think there are no witches,
Haven't even winced

At just the thought of spooks and things-
Well come and be convinced

At my party on

At o'clock.

When your guests arrive the
door should swing open ap-
parently unaided and the
hall should be entirely
dark except for a few
very faint green lights that
may be followed to the
dressing rooms.

If your guests are not in
costume, the hostess,
dressed as a witch, should
give each one a hat, a
necktie or some other dress
accessory to wear. Two
should be alike, or they
may be numbered in du-
plicate and later matched
for the first dance or game.

Decorate the living
rooms with vivid orange
and black. The doorway, windows, chan-
delier and fireplace can all be effectively
"dressed up."

The doorway shown will give any timid
guest a thrill as she tries to enter the room
without encountering the dangling spider.

To copy it, fasten natural branches above
the door frame and suspend orange, yellow
and black crepe paper moss from them, allow-
ing it to hang very irregularly. Make the
spider of black crepe paper and wire and sus-
pend it by fine elastic. The web is made of
string or crepe paper rope. Attach strips of
Crepe Paper Border H 6 to the sides of the
door frame and place Cut-outs H 70 and H 71
above the branches.

Pumpkin Cut-outs H 96, H 105 and H 73,
attached to varying lengths of No. 2 Orange
Streamers, may be quickly pinned in place
right over the regular draperies at the
windows.

The chandelier sheds a weird glow over the
whole room through the long orange crepe
paper fringe that surrounds it. Strips of
Border H 8 radiate from the ceiling to the
edge of the shade. The border around the top
of the shade is H 7. Heavy wires or light flag

Dennison's Bogie Book

sticks are placed across the top of the shade
and No. 3 Orange Streamers are looped
irregularly on them.

As soon as your guests are assembled in the
living room give each one a "Black Cat
Charm" and explain very ceremoniously that
good luck will be his as long as he wears it
around his neck. A fortune verse may be
added and each one in turn asked to read his
verse aloud.

Games and stunts for the party will be
found on page 20.

All of the favors and novelties illustrated
here and on the following pages can be easily
and inexpensively fashioned with the help of
the stock goods that are described on pages
30 and 31. In many cases they are combined
with inexpensive toys or packaged candy.

No. 1 Cat Balloon. Cut out the mouth of
an H 98 Cut-out and draw a rubber balloon
through the opening. Glue another cat's
head to the back of the first one with the
wooden mouthpiece between them.

No. 2 Ghostly Prize. Make a ball of
white crepe paper for the head, fastening it
with wire to the top of a paper bag filled with
popcorn or candy. Wrap this wire with white
crepe paper before fastening it in place and
make it long enough to form the arms. Tie
a piece of white crepe paper around the neck,
for the skirt, and add a circular piece for the
cape. Draw the ghostly features with India
ink.

No. 3 Witch Pencil. Cut a piece of No. 71
Light Brown Crepe Paper with the grain into a
fine fringe. Wrap it around the end of a brown
pencil and fasten it with fine wire. Glue two
Witch Cut-outs H 37 back to back, with the
"broom" between them, first cutting off the
cardboard broom.

No. 4 Cat Score Card. Paste a white corre-
spondence card to a piece of orange mat stock
a little larger than, the white card. Add a
circular piece of black mat stock and then a
square piece of orange. Fasten an H 683 Sil-
houette to the center and then make a neck-
tie of a bit of white paper, lettering it as
shown.

No. 5 Black Cat Charm. A loop of wire
is fastened between two H 586 Silhouettes and
the whole smoothly covered with black sealing
wax. A bit of Green Bronze Wax is used for
the eyes. A loop of green tinsel ribbon, long
enough so that the "charm" may be worn
around the neck, completes it.

No. 6 Cat Bag. Make a small bag of orange
crepe paper with drawstrings at the top and
paste a Cut-out H 111 to the side. A bag like
this may be the container in which to present
almost any small prize.

No. 7 Witch Horn. Orange and black
crepe paper cut in a fringe is attached to a
small horn and a Witch Cut-out H 112 is
fastened in place so that the mouthpiece of
the horn comes at the peak of the hat. It will
be more attractive if the horn itself is first
covered with orange crepe paper.

THIRTY-FIRST

VEN if
the en-
tertainment on
Hallowe'en is to
take the form of a card

party, nevertheless the living room must be
gaily decorated. Here are more suggestions
for living room decorations that are effective
and may be quickly arranged.

The method of making the drapery over
the window may need a little explanation.
Remove a fold of orange crepe paper from the
packet and unfold, then, starting with the
two ends together, redouble until there are
eight thicknesses. Make slashes along one
entire side about one-half an inch apart, cut-
ting to within an inch of the opposite side.
Unfold and pin in place right over the regular
draperies. It will be necessary to use two or
more pieces as each piece will be only twenty

Page six

inches deep. Use strips of Border H 8 between
each row of slashing and finish the ends
with Witch Cut-outs H 37.

The chandelier utilizes Decorated
Crepe H 842. Cut it as shown in the
illustration and attach No. 1
Orange Streamers around the
bottom, finishing the ends
with bats cut from the un-
used portion of the Deco-
rated Crepe Paper.

If there are bracket lights
in the room a screen may
be made for each one. Cut
a piece of cardboard in an
oval shape following the
shape of the motif in Dec-
orated Crepe H 850. Cut
out the center, leaving a
narrow rim, and paste it to
the back of the cat motif.
Add a strip of black crepe
paper fringe across the bot-
tom. Fasten pieces of wire
to the back to attach it to
the lamp fixture.

Two different suggestions
are shown for marking the
card tables. The witch num-
ber is made by attaching a
piece of No. 7 Wire, wrapped
with orange crepe paper, to
the back of a Cut-out H 1 12,
allowing it to extend eight-
een or twenty inches. Cut
the required numeral from
orange mat stock and fas-
ten the wire to it, bending
the wire to follow its shape.
Bend the remaining wire in
a flat spiral to form a stand.
Finish with a ruffle of or-
ange crepe paper.
The ghost table marker is made over a
cone-shaped piece of cardboard. The head
and ghostly robes are made of crepe paper
and the hands are wire wrapped with crepe
paper. A numbered card is held in one hand
while a cat cut from Cut-out H 91, attached
to a ribbon, is held in the other.

Refreshments should be served at the
small tables at which time they are spread
with covers made of orange crepe paper
decorated with witches. "Fortune Sand-
wiches," described on page 8, should be served
in the Cat Trays shown on the following page
and bon bons may appear in cups topped with
a witch's head.

Dennison's Bogie Book

Of course you will need score cards. There
are a number here from which to choose. The
table and couple may be written on the
back.

No. 1 Necklace Score Card. The card
itself is a red tag to which are pasted three
H 583 Seals. A band of crepe paper is made
long enough to go around the neck and come
down over the shoulders. Crepe paper fringe
finishes the ends and the tag is tied to a long
ribbon.

No. 2 Bracelet Score Card. Fasten
H 655 Seals back to back on an orange ribbon.
Add a tag decorated with seals and tie it to
the bracelet with ribbon long enough so that
the tag will be out of the way.

No. 3 Pumpkin Score Card. Cut-out H 92
has a feather made of crepe paper and ap-
propriate lettering added. The score may be
kept on the back, or extra leaves fastened to
the back with a paper fastener.

No. 4 Bridge Score Card. Cut a piece of
orange mat stock a little wider than the
printed score pad and long enough to bend
over as shown. Paste one sheet of the pad on
the cardboard and a Cut-out H 94 on the
bent over top. Streamers of orange ribbon,
pasted beneath the cut-out, add a colorful
touch.

No. 5 "Old Man Autumn" Score Card.
Wire, wrapped with black crepe paper and

bent in correct shape, is fastened between
two Seals H 684. The figure is then glued on
a card and a small pencil put in the old man's
hand.

No. 6 Witch Tally Card. A bit of orange
crepe paper for a skirt and a shorter piece of
black for a cape are topped with a Seal H 680.
An orange ribbon loop adds a bit more color.

No. 7 Witch Serving Cup. This is a large
cup and a single one may be used in the cen-
ter of each card table. A No. 3 Serving Cup
Form is covered with orange crepe paper. A
piece of wire is pasted to the back of Cut-out
H 112 and allowed to extend three or four
inches below it. Tie ruffles of crepe paper
around the wire and spread them out. Bend
the extending wire up in a flat spiral and the
beruffled witch forms a top for the cup.

No. 8 Cat Serving Tray. Cut orange
crepe paper in scallops and paste a double
row in ruffles around the edge of a paper
plate. Paste a paper doily in the plate. Wrap
pieces of No. 7 Wire with No. 112 Festoons
cut in halves lengthwise through the center.
Put the wires together and shape as shown.
Leave about two inches at one end of each of
the pieces for the legs, unwrapped, and thrust
them through the plate, bending them back
and fastening to the plate with gummed tape.
The head is a Cut-out H 98. Give "kitty" a
saucy orange bow.

PLANNING REFRESHMENTS
FOR THE PARTY

THE simplest sorts of refreshments are ap-
propriate for a Hallowe'en party but they
may be served in unusual surroundings and in
surprising shapes.

The dining room and the table should both
be gay with orange and black decorations.

When the refreshments are to be served
buffet style, the table may be spread with
an orange colored cover. Stretch strips of the
crepe paper smoothly over the top of the
table and pin to the silence cloth. Fasten a
border of Decorated Crepe Paper around the
edge. The design illustrated is No. H 846, cut
in irregular scallops.

Banners made of crepe paper are effective
and can be quickly arranged. Straight strips

Page eight

of crepe paper, cut in the
desired shape at the ends,
make the foundations.
Designs cut from
Decorated Crepe or card-
board cut-outs are pasted
to these foundations.

The witch centerpiece is
made of Decorated Crepe
H 849 cut out and rein-
forced with cardboard and
wire. The cauldron is made
of black crepe paper over a
wire frame.

Small cauldrons that
match the centerpiece are
fashioned around big red
apples. Strips of orange and
red crepe paper, cut in
points on one edge, are
stretched around the
apples. Next a double piece
of black crepe paper, with
the creased edge at the top,
is stretched around and the
lower edge gathered in and
fastened at the bottom.
The upper edge is then
stretched out carefully to
form the rim of the kettle.
Wire, wrapped with crepe
paper, is bent in shape for
the handle and slipped in
place, and a Cut-out H 35 fastened on a
toothpick is thrust into the apple.

If you are to serve sandwiches make them
"Fortune Sandwiches." Use any desired
filling and cut the sandwiches in three differ-
ent shapes — round, diamond and heart
shaped. After your guests have begun to eat
them, tell what the different shapes mean.
Round ones signify wealth, diamond shaped
ones some unexpected pleasure and for those
who have selected the heart shaped ones,
love will come within the year.

Either of the following menus is appro-
priate for a Hallowe'en party:

Chicken Pie

Stuffed Apple Salad

Nut Bread Sandwiches

Hot Gingerbread Coffee

Vegetable Salad

Brown Bread and Cream

Cheese Sandwiches

Pumpkin Pie

Cheese Cider

Dennisom's Bogie Book

No. 1. Owl Serving Cup. Owl Silhouette
H 697 is pasted on a piece of orange mat
stock and cut out. Then crepe paper cut in
deep points is pasted around a serving cup
form and the owl fastened to the side.

No. 2. Ghost Serving Cup. Make the
ghost by cutting the ghosts from two Napkins
H 824 and pasting them together with wires
wrapped with white crepe paper between
them. Shape the wires as shown before past-
ing them between the napkins. The cup is
made over a No. 00 foundation covered with
orange crepe paper and decorated with a
pumpkin cut from the lower part of the
napkin.

No. 3. Candy Candlestick. The candle-
stick is made of black mat stock. The
"candle" is a stick of real candy wrapped
with paraffine paper. A bit of orange crepe
paper, cut in points to represent the flame, is
fastened to the top. A Cut-out H 102 attached
to a spiral wire flutters above it. A bow of
orange ribbon and a small card are attached
to the handle of the candlestick. The card
may be a place card or may have a fortune
verse printed on it. A set of twelve fortune
verses will be sent on request accompanied by
a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Address
Dept. B, Framingham, Mass.

No. 4. Pumpkin Cigarettes. A favor for a
man is made of two Seals H 577, a bit of wire
wrapped with crepe paper and bent in correct
shape. The pumpkin man then rides astride
a package of cigarettes. Any small packaged

candies may be used in place of the cigarettes.

No. 5. Devil Serving Cup. This cup is
made in the same way as the Owl Serving
Cup except that a piece of wire, wrapped with
crepe paper and made spiral by winding it
around a steel knitting needle, is pasted to
the back of a Cut-out H 110. Instead of
fastening the figure to the side of the cup, the
wire is thrust through the middle of the
bottom of the cup and fastened with a bit of
gummed tape.

No. 6. Pumpkin Clown Serving Cup.
Cover a serving cup form with orange crepe
paper. Make the clown's head of two Seals
H 658 pasted together. Add a tiny ruffle of
crepe paper and a pointed cap. A bow of
black ribbon completes it. Paste the edge of
the ruffle to the edge of the cup for about
an inch.

No. 7. Pirate Jack Horner Pie. Make a
foundation of cardboard and cover with
crepe paper cut in rows of pointed petals.
Attach several pieces of No. 7 Wire to the
back of an H 73 Cut-out. Fasten several rows
of pointed petals around the wires and then
thrust them through the center of the bottom
of the foundation, spreading out the ends of
the wires and bending them flat against the
bottom of the foundation. Fasten them in
place securely with gummed tape. Paste a
second pumpkin to the back of the first one
and make a "bandana" hat of crepe paper
and trim it with colored gummed diamonds
and crescents.

THE BUSINESS GIRL
ALLOWE'EN PART

PARTY deco-

rations that
must be arranged
after one gets home
from business should be
carefully prepared in ad-
vance in order that they
may be quickly assembled.

In the room illustrated all
of the decorations can be
partly made so that they may
be put in place very quickly.

For the window decoration,
No. 309 Decorated Crepe is cut in strips
of the correct widths and Cut-outs H 91,
H 103 and H 85 pasted to the ends. The
valance, too, is made of No. 309 Crepe. It
will take only a few minutes to pin them to
the draperies.

The chandelier decoration is made on a
narrow band of cardboard which fits around
the light fixture. Three or four pieces of fine
wire will attach it easily. A Lunch Set H 175
is used on the table. Its contents, the table
cover, napkins and paper plates, are easily

Page ten

spread on the table and in
themselves form a part of
the decorative scheme.

Just before the refresh-
ments are served, give each
boy a shoulder sash and
each girl a head band. As
soon as they are donned the
hunt for partners begins. A
sash and head band may
match in color or the decora-
tions for two may be alike.
As illustrated the Witch
Silhouettes H 642 show that
the wearers are partners.

The centerpiece is very
easy to fashion. Two sec-
tions of design H 849 Deco-
rated Crepe are mounted on
cardboard and cut out. The
two are then fastened to-
gether in a slightly oval shape and at-
tached to a piece of cardboard covered with
green crepe paper crushed to represent grass.
The center may be filled with small favors
and at a signal from the hostess, each guest
may select a mysterious package. Cat Bal-
loons like those pictured on page 5, and the
Autumn Leaf Crickets on page 13, would be
appropriate to use for the favors.

Individual cakes, each one frosted with
orange colored frosting and containing a
Black Cat Cut-out H 65, are interesting
because there are fortune verses on the
reverse side that may be read aloud by each
one in turn.

Doughnuts, oranges or apples may be
served "dressed up" as shown on the follow-
ing page.

A menu for the refreshments that will not
require much time to prepare is:

Fruit Cocktail

Chicken Patties

Potato Chips

Ice Cream Individual Cakes

Coffee

'ennison s Bogie Jbooi

No. 1 Pumpkin Doughnut Clown. Cover
a doughnut with paraffine paper, drawing it
together and fastening it at one side so that
the paper will be flat on one side of the dough-
nut. Make a double ruffle of crepe paper and
tie it in place around the paraffine paper.
Make a cap of crepe paper; Seal H 557 sup-
plies the features. If you make the caps,
ruffles and features in advance it will take
but a few minutes to put the clowns together
just before the party.

No. 2 -Cat Serving Cup. Wrap a piece of
wire with a strip of crepe paper and fasten
it to the sides of a No. 2 Serving Cup Form.
Cover the cup with a ruffle of orange crepe
paper and paste a Cut-out H 91 on one side.
Decorate the handle and the cat's neck with
orange ribbon bows.

No. 3 Clown Candy Favor. Use "Life
Savers" or any roll packaged candy for the
foundation. Cut a strip of crepe paper about
six inches longer than the package and cut
the two ends in points, with the grain of the
paper, about 2^ inches deep. Roll the paper
round and round the package, tying the paper
at the top and bottom. Push the pointed edge
out at one end so that it will stand, and paste
a Cut-out H 106 to the side.

No. 4 Cat Head Place Card. Wrap a
piece of No. 78 Wire with a strip of black
crepe paper, fringed on one edge, down for
about 4 inches. Finish wrapping the wire with
plain crepe paper. Bend the lower end in a
flat spiral and paste two Seals H654 in place,
back to back. Finish with an orange crepe
paper bow and slip a plain white card in the
spiral.

No. 5 Pumpkin Serving Cup. Cover a No. 0
Serving Cup Form with orange crepe paper.
Wrap pieces of wire with crepe paper and
attach them to the bottom and sides of
the cup. Bend in correct shape. The head
is made of two Seals H 577 pasted back to
back.

No. 6 Goblin Fruit. Wrap a piece of black
crepe paper tightly around an apple or
orange. Then slash a strip of brown crepe
paper about 6 inches wide, with the grain,
about 3 inches deep, and wrap it around
tightly two or three times. Fasten the paper
together at the top and cut the fringe off a
little way on one side. Paste the face from
Silhouette H 697 on the side. A hat made of
crepe paper is added. The whole head may be
easily slipped off the fruit and slipped on
again just before it is to be served.

CHAPTER TWO

CLUB PARTIES AND DANCES
FOR HALLOWE'EN

HALLOWE'EN is an ideal time to have a
dinner dance at the club.
The decorations, favors and entertainment
can be arranged with less work on the part of the
committee than for almost any other kind of a
party and, coming as it does at the beginning
of the winter season, it gives a wonderful
opportunity for an informal get-together.

If it is to be a private party, invitations
similar to the one shown will be required.
Orange and black mat stock and Silhouette
H 697 supply the necessary materials. In
case the party is a community affair, adver-
tising posters will be needed. Very attractive
posters can be made by cutting out figures

Page twelve

— ^ of various kinds from
Decorated Crepe Paper and
pasting them on large sheets
of cardboard. Figures from
two or three different pat-
terns are often combined
with good results . The poster
illustrated uses figures cut
from Decorated Crepe
H 848.

Small tables are arranged
around the sides of the room
and the center of the floor
left clear for dancing.

Paper table covers in

witch design, with paper

napkins to match, will help

create a festive atmosphere.

Make a centerpiece for

each table by fastening a

piece of No. 15 Wire, wrapped with black

crepe paper, to the back of a Cut-out H 79.

Allow the wire to extend well below the witch

and twist it into a large flat spiral to form

a stand. Paste a strip of fringed orange crepe

paper to a second piece of wire and attach it

to the back of the witch, following the line

of the broom. Cut the ends of the fringe in

deep points and paste a second witch to the

back of the first one.

Overhead decorations may be needed.
There are many suggestions for hall decora-
tions on pages 16, 17, 18 and 19 that can be
adapted to your use.

A balcony decoration that is very effective
is pictured. The motif in the center of each
section is cut from Decorated Crepe H 850.
It may be mounted on cardboard or not. Fes-
toons are draped from the bottom of the de-
sign, one hanging directly below the other,
to the center of the posts. Cat Cut-outs of
various sizes are used as a finish.

Several dance and table favors are shown
on the following page. If your party is small
and the guests know each other some of the

'enmson s

gie

favors may be numbered and used to match
partners for one of the dances.

When a quantity of dance or table favors
are needed, they must be easy to make and
inexpensive. All of those shown here may be
quickly fashioned and the materials cost but
a trifle.

No. 1 Witch Horn. Cut No. 265 Festoons
in halves lengthwise and wrap around a toy
horn. Paste a Cut-out H 37 on either side and
then paste them together at the top.

No. 2 Pumpkin Boy Nut Dish. Wrap two
pieces of No. 9 Wire with orange crepe paper
and twist around a "cricket," bending them
in shape to form the arms and legs. Fasten a
Seal H 577 to the top and glue the figure to
the side of a small paper plate.

No. 3 Autumn Leaf Cricket. Fasten a
"cricket" between two Seals H 684. Add a
piece of narrow ribbon long enough to make a
loop so that the favor may be worn around
the neck.

No. 4 Cat Blow-Out. Cut feet and a tail
from black mat stock and paste them to a
"blow-out." Add Cat Head Cut-out H 98.

No. 5 Cat Bon Bon. An orange colored
snapping bon bon is the foundation. Wrap two
pieces of wire with black crepe paper and

twist tightly around the ends of the bon bon,
allowing the ends to form the feet. Cut the
fringe off one end and attach a Cut-out H 98.
Put a large bow under the cat's chin.

No. 6 Witch Serving Cup. Cover a serv-
ing cup form with orange crepe paper. Cut a
piece of black mat stock in the shape of a
broom, slashing the ends and rolling them up
a bit. Make a slash in the edge of the cup.
Cut the broom off from a Cut-out H 37 and
fasten the witch in the slit in the side of the
cup.

No. 7. Cat Horn. Cover a toy horn with
orange crepe paper and paste a figure to the
side made of orange and black crepe paper,
wire and Seal 654.

No. 8 Cat-o'-Nine-Tail Favor. Wrap a
small stick of candy in paraffine paper, fasten-
ing the top with a fine wire that is wrapped
with light brown crepe paper and twisted in
a spiral. Attach a piece of No. 7 Wire to the
bottom of the candy for a stem and wrap with
green crepe paper, adding leaves as the wind-
ing proceeds. Paste a Seal H 577 in place and
bend the wire stem in a flat spiral to form a
stand. A small name card may be added if
desired.

Several other table favors are shown on
page 15.

A SUPPER AT THE CLU

THERE are many club and church suppers
during the latter part of October when
Hallowe'en decorations are used.

Long narrow tables, arranged to seat many
people, do not lend themselves readily to
unusual decorative treatments. The deco-
ration illustrated, however, is not only un-
usual but very easy to arrange.

A bit of accurate folding and a few well
placed pins will accomplish the desired result.
Decorative Border H 5 or H 6 can be used
with equally pleasing results.

Owls cut from Decorated Crepe H 842,
mounted on cardboard and reinforced with
wire, are used at intervals. The wire is
arranged as described on page 12 for the

Pagefourteen

witches. No. 3 Orange
Streamers are garlanded be-
tween the owls, and small
owls' heads cut from H 842
Crepe are used pennant
fashion from the streamers.
The illustration is easy to
follow.

The chandeliers are in
keeping with the table
decorations. The eyes,
noses and mouths are cut
out from Cut-outs H 73 and
red crepe paper pasted be-
hind the openings. Ruffles
of orange crepe paper are
added and the pumpkins
are adjusted in front of the
lights. Bright red apples
hang on strings below the
lights and narrow orange
streamers are looped be-
tween them. Have the
apples quite high up or your
guests will be tempted to
eat the decorations.

The waitresses should
wear aprons and caps of
bright orange and black.
Those shown on the follow-
ing page are easy to fash-
ion. For the apron, cut a strip of crepe paper
long enough to reach from the waist at the
back, over the shoulders and the required
length in front. Cut an opening for the neck
and round off the lower edges. Sew a Tucked
Streamer H 83 around the lower edge and
neck, and trim the apron with pompons,
black crepe paper fringe and a Cut-out H 72.
The cap is made of Streamer H 83, wire,
pompons and cardboard cut-outs.

Many entertainments are designed to
raise funds for some worthy cause, and
people must therefore be told about them.
A sheet of orange mat stock, some figures
cut from Decorated Crepe Paper and letter-
ing done with India ink will produce a poster
that is hard to improve.

The committee that has a limited amount
to spend will find it possible to copy any of
the favors on the following page at a cost of
but a few cents for the materials for each one.
No. 1 Gum Boy. Wrap a narrow strip of
orange crepe paper, cut across the grain,
around a piece of gum. Wrap two pieces of
No. 7 Wire with crepe paper. Bend one piece
in a hairpin shape and slip it under the crepe
paper. Paste two F 579 Seals back to back,

Dennison's Bogie Book

with the wire between them, and bend up for
the feet. Twist the other piece in place for the
arms. Use a Seal H 577 for the face.

No. 2 Pumpkin Serving Cup. Cover a
serving cup form with orange crepe paper,
fringing one edge and making the strip of
paper wide enough to draw together and tie
in the center. Make the arms of black mat
stock and use Cut-out H 92 for the head.

No. 3 Pumpkin Napkin Holder. Make a
ring of Orange Mat Stock about two inches
in diameter and two inches wide. Paste a
Cut-out H 105 to the side. Fold a Hallowe'en
napkin and stand it in the ring.

No. 4 Owl Napkin Holder. Make a card-
board ring just the same as for the Pumpkin
Napkin Holder. Mount a Silhouette H 697
on a piece of orange mat stock and cut out.
Paste it to the side of the cardboard ring and
place the folded napkin in it.

No. 5 Cat Favor. Gather a strip of orange
crepe paper about five inches wide and tie it
around a Cut-out H 74. Be sure that the
grain of the crepe is up and down. Finish with
a bow of narrow ribbon, having one end
long enough to be looped around the neck of
an H 683 Silhouette that is pasted to the
bottom of the cat's skirt.

No. 6 Autumn Leaf Lolly-pop. Fasten a
Seal H 684 on either side of a small "lolly-
pop" and arrange strips of crepe paper in
autumn colors around the stick. Thrust the
end of the stick into a large flat gum drop for
a stand.

No. 7 Pumpkin Menu Card. Fasten a Seal
H 684 on either side of three wires. Make each
spiral by wrapping it around a steel knitting
needle. Thrust the ends of the wires through
a white card, bending them back and fasten-
ing with gummed tape.

No. 8 Cat Serving Cup. Two flat bows
of orange crepe paper are pasted on each side
of a serving cup form. A Cut-out H 98 is
then pasted in the center of each bow and the
ends of the loops caught together.

Page fifteen

EACH hall because of its
shape and size presents
its own decorative limits and
possibilities.

Many of the units illus-
trated here and on the follow-
ing pages will be "just made"
for the particular hall that
you are going to decorate.
Banners hanging at the front
of a stage, floor lamps made
into grotesque figures, owls
made of streamers and card-
board— these are just a few
of the features that will give
unusual and colorful touches.

HALLOWE'EN

Page seventeen

CLUB OR PARISH HOUSE

WHEN decorating a hall or large room for
a Hallowe'en party have the units of
decoration large and "splashy." Weird effects
are desired rather than fine detail.

The hall that must be decorated often
presents a most difficult problem as modern
building construction does not provide many
places to which decorations can be attached.
Almost all of the various units shown here can
be attached with wire thumb tacks, pins or
very small tacks,

Page ei

The doorway illustrated is
certainly weird. To make it,
paste fringe made of orange
crepe paper to a strip of
cardboard long enough to
fit across the doorway. Cut
the fringe in a curve at the
bottom and then paste black
fringe on top of the orange, a
short piece in the center and
two long ones at each side.
Tack the cardboard across the
door. Cut the features and
ears from white cardboard.
Paste or pin the features to
the fringe and fasten the ears
to the sides of the door frame
with thumb tacks.

The post decoration shown
is one that can be adapted to
a post of any height. When
there are rows of posts in a
hall, banners may be ar-
ranged on both sides and the
festoons attached to wires or
flag sticks that project from
the sides. The banners are
made of strips of crepe paper
the whole ten-foot length and
twenty-inch width of the
paper. Cut in a long narrow pennant shape
and paste any desired design at the top.
(Cut-out H 80 is pictured.) As illustrated
the festoons at the sides are fastened to the
grill work of the balcony, brought up over
the top and then twisted and fastened with
wire around the bottom of the post.

Bare wall spaces can be filled with "poster
pictures," made of designs cut from Deco-
rated Crepe Paper and pasted on full size
sheets of mat stock. They are easy to make as
you can see by the illustration. Designs cut
from Decorated Crepe H 849 are pasted on
sheets of orange mat stock. Banners are often
used for the same purpose.

It is difficult to give an exact estimate of
the cost of the materials for decorating a hall,
as the number of windows, chandeliers, door-
ways and posts that have to be trimmed will
vary with each individual hall. The cost of

Demnisom's Bogie Book

the crepe paper, streamers and cut-outs used
for the overhead decoration, light shades and
banners in a hall 25 feet wide and 50 feet long,
similar to the one illustrated on page 16, will
be approximately $25.00.

Here are more decorations that can be
adapted to doors, posts and overhead decora-
tions in almost any kind of room or hall.

A square frame of wood or wire is fitted
snugly around a post. No. 1 Orange or Yellow
Streamers are attached to two sides of the
frame, drawn together in one group and
fastened. A festoon, streamer or Decorated
Border can be used as a finish for the top. A
few large cardboard cut-outs will make an
effective addition.

A new use for an old umbrella frame. Fas-
ten a string or fine wire around the edge to
draw it into the correct shape and then add
one or two rows more, spider web fashion.
Hang it upside down and drape crepe paper
moss very irregularly from the wires. Add
pumpkin, bat, cat or owl cut-outs.

The arrangement of the doorway decora-
tion can be adapted to the sides of a stage, the
top of a booth or on a smaller scale for a win-

dow decoration. Natural branches are tacked
above the door frame and crepe paper moss
hung on them. Large cut-outs are also hung
on the branches. If loops of string are fastened
to the backs of the cut-outs with tabs of
gummed tape, it will be very easy to hang
them just where they are wanted. As illus-
trated the Cut-outs used are H 80, H 73,
H 105 and H 112.

The decorations of the hall shown on page
17 are easy to copy and the arrangement of
the overhead decoration is particularly good
to use if the ceiling is so high as to be inac-
cessible. Wires are stretched between the light
fixtures and short lengths of streamers, with
cut-outs attached to the ends, are pinned to
the wires.

Crepe paper moss, another very easily used
decorative material, is used on bare branches
over the door and windows. The grotesque
figures on the walls are easy to copy. A small
flag stick has a length of crepe paper hung
over it. The paper is then cut in the required
shape and the dress trimming and fringe are
added. Cut-outs H 73 or H 80 supply the
heads. The hats can be made of crepe paper
or cardboard as preferred.

CHAPTER THREE

GAMES, STUNTS AND COSTUMES
FOR HALLOWE'EN PARTIES

GETTING THE FUN STARTED

/CERTAIN old-time
^games and stunts
are a part of every
Hallowe'en party . The
customs and supersti-
tions that belong to
this weird night are
almost all connected in
some way with future
wedded bliss or material
welfare. Do not fail, there-
fore, at some time during
the evening to have your
guests bob for apples in a
tub of water; peel apples in one contin-
uous piece and throw the peelings over
their left shoulders so that they may fall
on the floor to form the initials of the
future mate; blow out lighted candles
to determine the number of years that
will elapse before marriage. These are
only a few of the well-known methods
of finding out what the future holds.
You probably know many more that are
too well known to require explanation.

Several very good books are published
that are devoted exclusively to party
games and, although we do not sell any
of them, we can recommend several that
the hostess will find of great assistance in
planning her parties:

There have been many requests for
the reprinting in this year's edition of
The Bogie Book, "A Gruesome Tale,"
that appeared in the 1924 edition.

Most of the people who used this last
year will want something new, so we are
printing a new ghost story. Copies of
"A Gruesome Tale" may be had by writ-
ing Dept. B, Framingham, Mass.

Dancing supplies the entertainment
for many Hallowe'en parties but let fate
or chance enter the allotting of partners
and instead of dancing all the time try
having games and stunts interspersed
between the dances. Partners for prac-
tically every dance should be chosen by
some chance. There are many ways of
selecting partners that will prove lots of
fun.

After dancing a few minutes, have the
music stop and line the men in one ^w
and the girls in another, facing each
other. Tell the men to move down one
and dance with the girl opposite. The
man at the head of the line goes to the
other end and dances with the girl who
is left without a partner. In a few min-
utes repeat, but this time have the men
move down two. Dance again, then
move down three and finally four.

Blindfolded Partners

Line the men on one side of the room
and the girls on the other. Blindfold
them all and at a given signal start them
all to meet each other. When a man meets
a girl they shake hands and become part-
ners. If the guests are shifted about a bit

'ennison §

>ogie

after they are blindfolded and before
they start to meet each other, there will
be more confusion and fun.

A Ghostly Fate

The men are lined up in one row and
the girls in another, facing each other.
A blindfolded ghost goes to the men's
line, takes one by the hand and goes
across and touches a girl. These two are
to be partners. This continues until all
have partners.

The Witch's Cats

Before the dance a number of Cat
Cut-outs H 35 should be hidden about
the room.

There should be one extra man (or
possibly there will be an extra girl) . An-
nounce that the witch has lost her nine
cats and if one of them can be found by
the person without a partner it will
bring him good luck and he may dance
with anyone he wishes. The deposed
partner may in turn hunt for a black cat
and so get another partner. If the party
is large several people may hunt for cats
at the same time, and so the cutting in
will become quite lively.

Pass pencils and papers on which are
written in a column the months of the
year. Each is to sign his name and, hav-
ing folded the paper down so that the
name cannot be read, pass it to the right.
Then opposite "January" each is to
write what he would like to do during
the coming January. This is folded and
passed, and so continued until all the
doings for the year are completed. The
papers are then collected and the host-
ess will read what each one will do dur-
ing the coming year.

If preferred these papers may be kept
and read at the refreshment table.

Matrimonial Race

Carry to a goal at the opposite side
of the room a spoonful of small round
candies in one hand and a potato bal-
anced on a knife blade in the other.

To win, however, all of the candies
and the potato must arrive at the goal in
their original positions.

The winner of this race will be the
first of the company to be married.

The Cup of Fate

Place three cups or saucers on the
table. Half fill one with water, another
with milk and the third with vinegar.

Let each person, blindfolded, dip a
finger in the first cup touched; if it con-
tains milk married life will be happy, if
vinegar one's future wife or husband will
have a sour disposition, and if the cup
contains water single blessedness is in
store.

The position of the cups may be
changed before each trial.

Hallowe'en Wills

Plan ybur stunts so that just at mid-
night a ghost story shall be told.

A few minutes before this, tell your
guests that as there is no telling what
terrible things may happen on Hallow-
e'en all should be prepared by making
their wills.

Pass wide sheets of paper numbered
from one to five in three columns across
the paper.

At the top of the sheet is written "The

last will of ." Each

guest is to write his
name, and in the first
column a list of five of his
most valued possessions.
The papers are then to
be folded so that this list
is folded under and the
papers are then to be
passed to the right. A list
of five persons is then to

Page twenty-one

Dennison's Bogie Book

be written and the papers again folded
and passed. Finally a list of five uses is
to be written and the papers again
passed to the right. They are then un-
folded and read. It may be very en-
lightening to learn that John Smith wills
his set of golf clubs to Mary Smith to
use repairing a broken window.

Fortune Telling Game

On plain squares of white paper write
with baking soda mixed with water
such names as doctor, lawyer, dentist,
farmer, banker, etc. When playing the
game, have all the guests seated on the
floor and turn all lights very low. Go
from guest to guest with a lighted candle.
Each may know the occupation of his
future helpmeet by holding the blank
paper above the candle. The heat from
the blaze will turn the written word
brown.

Fortunes

Hollow out a rather small pumpkin
and put into it small numbered cards or
small witch, cat or pumpkin cut-outs,
numbered on the back. Pass the pump-
kin and allow each guest to draw out a
card. As each person tells the number of
his card, the hostess will read a fortune
from a numbered list that has been pre-
pared beforehand.

Apple Ten Pins

Stick three matches into an apple so
that it will stand. Set up ten of them like
ten pins and give each player an apple
to serve as a ball. The player who can
knock down the most in three shots is
the winner. It will be well to test out
before the party the distance that will
be best to have the players stand from
the "pins."

Family Ghosts

In the invitation to the party, request
each one to bring a "family ghost" (some-
thing that is a "dead one" as far as he
is concerned).

Page twenty-two

Some time during the evening all form
in a circle with their packages in their
hands. Some one plays a dirge on the
piano, and slowly the packages are
passed round and round from one to
another. When the music stops the
package held becomes a new possession.
Then all open and exhibit their"ghosts.',

Spinning the Web of Fate

Draw a large spider web on a sheet of
orange mat stock. Write fortunes in the
different sections. Let each guest spin
a top on the web. When it stops his fate
stands revealed.

Ghostly Lights

When a ghost story is to be told, seat
your guests in a circle on the floor. In
the center place three or four lighted can-
dles. As the telling of the story proceeds
the candles go out one by one until at
the climax the last candle goes out leav-
ing the room in total darkness.

The secret of this is to cut the candles
in two and then put them together again
by heating the two pieces slightly.

Of course when the candle has burned
down to the cut in the wick it will go out.
Cut each candle a little lower down so
that they will be sure to go out one at a
time.

Try one candle before cutting the
others to find out how long it will burn
between two points.

Dennison's Bogie Book

A Ghost Story

(The story-teller first instructs the guests that during the telling of the story they are to do "Just as I did," i.e.,
when the story runs "I closed my tired eyes," they should do so.)

Here is a story, believe it or no; %r

It happened to me and I know it is so.

The scene of the tale is a graveyard at night;

So chilly, so damp, and not one bit of light.

To show you what happened pretend I am you ;

Then you take my place and what I did, you do.

As I tell the story do not be alarmed,

But do as I did and you shall not be harmed.

When I first sat down it was sunny and bright.

I closed my tired eyes* and awoke late at night.

The night was jet black, not a thing could I see;

And yet I heard voices quite close about me.

I listened in terror, then fell to my knees,

My hands I clasped tightly — blood ready to freeze;

For they were the voices of spirits so close;

And one, in particular, loud and morose.

"I'm the ghost of a murderer," he said quite clear,

"I crave human company — now it is here!

For years in this graveyard I've ruled, if you please;

And claim what I find here among the old trees."

"You're mine!" came his shout — a heart rending shrill note;
And cold bony hands took a grip on my throat !f
The grip seemed to loosen, then tighten with zest;
I sat terror-stricken, afraid to protest.

"Perhaps I can teach you some lessons," he moaned;
"I'll show you my victims — oh, joy! how they groaned."
Then he led me away with his dry bony hand
To tomb after tomb till I hardly could stand.

(A closet in a darkened room has been prepared by placing therein two assistants, with articles needed to imper-
sonate the victims. White, green or yellow crepe paper forms the walls of the "tomb," and one assistant shines a
flashlight on the other, who impersonates the victims.) The "bony-handed" spook may handle the flashlight. He
leads the guests into this darkened room one by one Then they join hands and are led to the tomb. After they
have seen the first victim they are led around the room a bit and returned to the closet which is now tomb No. 2.
In exhibiting the victims the ghost explains them one by one:

My first is the ice man, I killed the old crook;
He has no ice now, but is here with his hook.

(Has cardboard ice hook with which he tries to reach guests.)

Next is the coal man, I murdered with glee.
His heart is a hard lump of coal, you can see.

(Ghost reaches toward his heart and pulls out a lump of coal.)

I throttled this radio bug, for he!d tell
Of getting long distance — at last he got hell.
(Wears a head set and keeps hissing "Sh-h-h-Sh-h-h.")

This poor boob once showed me the hooch on his shelf.
I just strung him up and drank it myself.
(Ghost is hanging with a rope around his neck.)

I warned this fast driver, but he wouldn't heed;
So then I just stabbed him — the hearse didn't speed.
(Ghost in imaginary car drives straight at guests.)

He tried to insure my life — how he did talk!
I pulled off his talking arm — that killed the gawk.
(Arm made of stick, hinged in the middle, with rubber band stretched from one end to the other, is extended by
the ghost. As the guest takes it it doubles up.)

Miss Flapper de Jazz danced her fool self to death;
And still she keeps dancing without any breath.
(This may be a cardboard skeleton made to dance on a string or she may be a ghost and leave the tomb to dance
with the guests.)

*Here lights are turned out. fHere assistant dressed as a ghost, wearing gloves with sticks glued to the

fingers, enters and tries to grab first one and then another by the throat.

Page twenty-three

HALLOWE'EN PARTY

WEIRD designs and bright orange in
contrast with black make it possible to
create very striking costumes for the Hal-
lowe'en party with very little work.

Many crepe paper costumes are made
over a muslin foundation to which the paper
is sewed or pasted as seems best. For this
kind of costume regular dress patterns may
be used but they are not often necessary.
The paper may be sewed by hand or on the
sewing machine.

The slip-over costume is a style that is very
popular for an informal party. It is what its
name implies, and is worn over any simple
frock.

Page twenty-four

Dennison's Bogie Book

The foundation of a slip-over costume is a
full width of crepe paper cut out for the neck
and of sufficient length to reach from the
shoulders to the bottom of the skirt, front
and back. To this foundation are attached
ruffles, streamers or cut out designs.

There are many variations to this type of
costume. It is often adapted to a man's
costume and is particularly desirable, be-
cause it may be worn over a conventional
business suit coat or negligee shirt.

All of the costumes illustrated are easy to
copy using Decorated or Plain Crepe, Decora-
tive Borders and Cut-outs, but if you need

further information about making any par-
ticular costume write the Service Bureau at
the nearest Dennison store, mentioning by
number the costume for which you wish in-
structions.

CHAPTER FOUR

DECORATIONS FOR HARVEST TIME
AND THANKSGIVING

HARVEST TIME IS PARTY TIME

'hen neither
Hallowe'en
nor Thanksgiv-
ing decorations
are quite appro-
priate, autumn
colors and harvest emblems provide a color-
ful decorative scheme.

Autumn leaves and fruits combined with
yellow, orange, red, russet, brown and green
may also be used with either Hallowe'en or
Thanksgiving decorations if occasion demands .

Decorated Crepe No. 354 is the keynote of
the decoration illustrated. It is used around
the balcony, over the doorway and the leaves
cut out from the crepe are part of the chande-
lier decoration.

Streamers and pompons made of the

Page twenty-six

various autumn colors
are combined with the

leaves.

The doorway is the
most unusual feature of
the whole decoration.
A fringe of orange crepe
paper is hung in the
door and held back by
two pumpkin imps.

To make, fasten a

flag stick to the back

of a Cut-out H 73

allowing the stick to

extend about 18

inches below it. Wrap

four or five pieces of

No. 15 Wire together

with strips of crepe

paper, wrapping

them back and forth

several times until

quite thick. Make

four pieces like this and fasten them to the

stick with fine wire. Bend the ends to form

the hands and feet. Wrap the stick with

crepe paper. The figures can be made to stand

with the help of fine wire and tiny tacks

driven into the sides of the door frame.

If there is to be a Harvest dance, invita-
tions and favors will be needed. An appro-
priate invitation made by pasting Seals H 679
to an orange colored card is illustrated.

Noise-making favors are always popular
with the young folks. The "corn whistle" and
the "pumpkin blossom balloon" pictured on
the next page are in keeping with the occa-
sion.

One of the dances should be an elimination
dance. After the dance has started a boy
dressed as a farmer enters the hall and passes
an ear of corn to each couple as they dance
by. If real ears of corn are not available they

Dennison's Bogie Book

may be made of crepe paper. Each ear is
numbered, and the numbers are called, each
couple dropping out as their numbers are
given.

Favors in harvest designs and colorings
are also appropriate for Hallowe'en or
Thanksgiving and will sometimes lend a bit
of variety to the well-known symbols of
these days.

No. 1. Pumpkin Blossom Serving Cup.
Cover a serving cup form with orange crepe
paper. Twist a small vine of crepe paper
pumpkin blossoms and leaves around the
sides.

No. 2. Corn Whistle. Paste crepe paper
cut in petal-like pieces to represent corn
husks around a small whistle. Finish with a
tiny bow of ribbon.

No. 3. Pumpkin Blossom Gobolink. Cut
several circles of shaded yellow and orange
crepe paper about 6 inches in diameter. Crush
the edges between the fingers and paste one
inside the other. Place a large peppermint
patty in the center and then stand in the
center a Cut-out H 109, attached to a tooth-
pick with a bit of gummed tape.

No. 4. Gobolink Serving Cup. Paste a
ruffle of orange crepe paper around a serving
cup form, making it wide enough so that it
comes well above the top. Paste a Cut-out

H 109 to the side and if required add a place
card attached to one end of a narrow ribbon.

No. 5. Autumn Leaf Lolly-pop. Draw a
face on the paraffine wrapper of a lolly-pop.
Add a few strands of fringed crepe paper for
hair and make a hat of two autumn leaves cut
from Decorated Crepe No. 286. Slip another
leaf on the stick of the lolly-pop and fasten
it in place. Use a large wooden button mould
for a stand. Gild or cover it with crepe
paper.

No. 6. Pumpkin Blossom Balloon. Make
petals the same as for the "Pumpkin Blossom
Gobolink" and paste them around the
wooden mouthpiece of a toy balloon.

No. 7. Harvest Place Card. Make a
stalk of corn of crepe paper and wire and
a tiny pumpkin. Paste them to the side of a
plain white card. Allow the stem of the corn
stalk to be bent under the card to form a
stand.

No. 8. Autumn Leaf Menu Card. Paste
Seals F 579 in a group at the top of a plain
white card. Cut out the top of the card above
the leaves as shown. Add a bow of ribbon.

No. 9. Corn and Pumpkin Centerpiece.
Cover a cone shaped cardboard foundation
with crepe paper cut to represent corn stalks.
Make a vine of pumpkin blossoms and
arrange as shown in the illustration.

THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS

'::0MMi:ki^.

ALTHOUGH the members of the family
are usually the principal guests, still
the Thanksgiving dinner is always a rather
formal affair.

The table decorations are confined to a
centerpiece, serving cups for the nuts or bon
bons and place cards.

A bit of additional color may be intro-
duced by decorating the chandelier.

When the guests gather around the table a
reminder of the first Thanksgiving will not
be amiss.

A centerpiece or Jack Horner pie in the
shape of a Pilgrim hat, decked with autumn
leaves and with a proud turkey atop, is most
attractive. The hat is made of gray mat stock,
the turkey cut from Decorated Crepe T 859

from Decorated Crepe 286. They
are cut out, wired and made into
sprays. Small favors wrapped
in orange paper and attached
to narrow ribbons that lead
to each place may be con-
cealed under the hat.

Orange colored "snapping
bon bons" are used for the
foundations of the favors.
Wires wrapped with crepe
paper are twisted around
the ends of the bon bons and
bent into correct shapes to
form the arms and legs. The
faces are Cut-outs H 92. It
is easy to make either a boy
or a girl by the addition of
a bit of crepe paper for a
skirt, hat or necktie.

There are several other
favors and place cards
shown on the opposite page
that will please the young
folks particularly.

A horn of plenty is a very
popular decoration for a Thanksgiving table.
First make a wire frame, following the
diagram on the following page. Use No. 15
Wire. Make a circle about nine inches in
diameter, then make small loops on the ends
of eight pieces of wire and hook them over
the circle, fastening them in place with fine
wire. Now make a smaller circle and fasten
it to the straight wires as shown. Bring
all the ends of the wires together and fasten.
Bend the horn into the correct shape.
Line with crushed crepe paper and then cover
the outside. Use strips of crepe paper cut in
pointed petals or ruffles, wrapping them
around and around. Decorate with a large
bow of maline and sprays of autumn leaves.
Make a stand of wire wrapped with crepe
paper as shown in the diagram.

No. 1. Turkey Napkin Holder. The out-
line of the turkey's wing of Cut-out T 93 is
cut with a sharp knife and a folded Napkin
T 1080 is slipped into the slit. Arrange the
napkin so that the turkey will stand. This
makes a very attractive favor for a large
party.

No. 2. Pilgrim Boy. A roll of wafers or
other round package candy is used for the
foundation. The face is drawn on the wrap=
per and the hat, hair, collar and tie, all made
of crepe paper, are added.

Dennison's Bogie Book

No. 3. Horn of Plenty. Roll a sheet of
writing paper into a cone shape and cover it
with orange crepe paper. Bend the point up
to make it the right shape. A piece of wire
makes the stand and the decorations are
Seals F 579, made into sprays, and a bow of
ribbon. *

No. 4. Pilgrim Maid Jack Horner.
Dress a doll with crepe paper to represent a
Pilgrim maiden and attach her with wire to
the center of a ruffle-covered box. Use shades
of red and orange crepe paper for the ruffles.
They make a bright bit of color on the table
and also a good contrast to the somber
Pilgrim gown.

No. 5. Turkey Favor. A small oblong box,
containing a small favor, is covered by wrap-
ping a strip of green crepe paper, cut in deep
points to represent grass, around the sides
several times. A Cut-out T 93 is then pasted
on one side. A place card may be added if
required.

No. 6. Pilgrim Girl. A companion for the
Pilgrim boy. A bonnet is made over a serving
cup form as a foundation of gray and white
crepe paper. After it is completed three or four
round cakes of chocolate are wrapped in
white tissue paper and a face is drawn on
the side. Put the face in the cup and when
ready to use stand it on its side.

No. 7. Turkey Place Card. Cut leaves
from Decorated Crepe No. 354. Paste a wire
through the center of each and make into a
spray, making the stem six or eight inches
long below the spray. Bend into a flat spiral
to make it stand and paste a Cut-out T 93 to
the upright part of the stem. Tie a ribbon,
with a place card attached to one end, to the
wire.
